The right to a trial by jury is the privilege of every person in the United States, whether citizen or not. This cherished right is guaranteed by both the United States and California Constitutions. Jury trials cannot be held unless people like you are willing to perform their civic duty. Jurors are essential to the administration of justice. A jury is a selected group of citizens that hears the testimonies in a legal dispute and determines what they believe is the truth.
